Crime Statesboro logo
The Statesboro Police Department is getting new primary duty weapons, trading in its old Glock 21 and Glock 30 handguns for a new version of the Glock 21. The Glock 21 and Glock 30 both are .45-caliber semiautomatic pistols. Purchased in 1998, the department's guns were 16 years old and "showing significant signs of wear and tear," stated Public Safety Director Wendell Turner's memo to the mayor and City Council.
